Scientists Record Historic ‘Ghost Particle’ Discovery in Mediterranean Sea

Summary

The Most Energetic Neutrino Ever Seen Makes a Mediterranean Splash

Of KM3NeT’s two detectors, one is dedicated to more mundane atmospheric neutrinos. The other, dubbed ARCA, is located under nearly 3.5 kilometers of water off the coast of Sicily and is designed to detect astrophysical neutrinos by observing the debris of their rare interactions with water molecules.

Physicists discover 'ghost particle' 100 times more energetic than ever seen before

Astronomers have detected the most powerful ghost particle ever found, and they're not sure where it came from. The particle, which momentarily flashed across a detector inside the Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, is a neutrino with an estimated energy of 220 quadrillion electron volts — making it more than 100 times more energetic than any previously detected.

Scientists Capture Record-Breaking ‘Ghost Particle’ in Mediterranean Waters

Neutrinos, often called ‘ghost particles,’ are emitted by stars and are known for their negligible mass and ability to go undetected. According to an AFP report, they are the second most abundant particles in the universe. They carry no electric charge and can pass through vast quantities, sometimes even trillions, of our bodies.

‘Ghostly’: Mysterious high-energy particle from space found in the depths of the Mediterranean

Neutrinos, often referred to as ‘ghost particles,’ are nearly massless and can travel through matter without significant interaction. These particles originate from extreme cosmic environments and provide insights into high-energy astrophysical phenomena.

3.5 kilometers underwater, scientists found a staggeringly energetic particle from outer space

KM3NeT is a gigantic deep sea telescope being built by an international collaboration of more than 300 scientists and engineers from 21 countries. Scientists have already detected a particle from outer space with a staggering amount of energy. The discovery represents a tremendous leap forward in exploring the uncharted waters of the extreme universe.

Undersea Telescope Detects Extremely Unusual Particle

The Kilometer Cube Neutrino Telescope is under construction in the Mediterranean Sea. Researchers say they detected a neutrino vastly more powerful than any particle they had seen before. The particle carried tens of thousands of times more energy than anything the Large Hadron Collider has been able to generate.

Scientists detect highest-energy ghost particle ever seen — where did it come from?

The particle arrived at Earth at nearly the speed of light and with 30 times the energy of the previous most energetic neutrino ever glimpsed. This is the first solid evidence that neutrinos with such high energies can be produced in the universe. The ghost particle's source is yet to be determined, the team has 12 suspects in mind.

Ghost Particle is spotted by deep sea telescope in Mediterranean

Neutrino detector in the Mediterranean Sea has spotted the most powerful “Ghost Particle’ in history. The particle is said to be 30 times more powerful than any other active neutrino. The theory is that this particular ‘Ghost Particles’ has come from a star from way outside the Milky Way Galaxy.

Strange signal from the bottom of the ocean detected by scientists for first time

Strange signal from the bottom of the ocean detected by scientists for first time. Could serve as a global time marker and improve how scientists synchronise geological records that span millions of years. A research team from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf found an unexpected increase in a very rare radioactive isotope.

3.5 kilometres underwater, scientists found a staggeringly energetic particle from outer space

KM3NeT is a gigantic deep sea telescope being built by an international collaboration of more than 300 scientists and engineers from 21 countries. When the telescope is complete, it will cover about a cubic kilometre of sea. At the site off Sicily, and another off the coast of Provence in France, KM3 NeT will be made up of more. than 6,000 light detectors hanging in the pitch-black depths.
